Abstract

Malaysia has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050, with Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) identified as a key strategy. However, CCS infrastructure faces heightened risks of corrosion and material degradation under the tropical marine environment. This review synthesises recent studies on degradation mechanisms, including corrosion, stress corrosion cracking, and fatigue in CCS components. Findings reveal accelerated deterioration of carbon steels, improved resistance of chromium-enriched alloys, and critical impacts of impurities in s-CO₂. Research gaps include limited tropical field data, underdeveloped predictive models, and the absence of Malaysia-specific guidelines. Addressing these issues is vital for a sustainable CCS deployment.
